Marico:Buy | Target: Rs 550/560
After a short-term correction, the stock is consolidating near 20 and 50 day SMA (Simple Moving Average). The short-term texture of the stock is non-directional; perhaps traders are waiting for either side to breakout. For the bulls, Rs 540 would be the important breakout level to watch. And if the stock manages to close above the same, we can expect a quick uptrend rally towards Rs 555-560. On the flip side, trading below Rs 520 or 50 and 20 day SMA, may increase further weakness up to Rs 510-500.
